Structural Design Subcommittee

Operating Purpose

Promotes the use of BIM from the first design stages to production in structural design. Also supports the use of BIM between other disciplines in construction related to structural design.

Operating Aims

・Popularize the use of IFC in the structural engineering industry

・Development and deployment of ST-Bridge in the structural engineering industry

・Sharing of information domestically in the structural engineering and construction disciplines

・Collecting information on BIM and ICT for the structural engineering industry

Activities

Consulting for the use of IFC Qualification in the structural steel industry. Also, establishes the domestic standard specification “ST-Bridge” centered around integrated structural calculation programs for sharing structural design data which is difficult to achieve with only IFC, embedding into related software and promoting its usage.
